I will start the review from positive aspects:
- the furniture offer what's necessary without taking away too much space
- the apartment is in a good position, a few steps away from the metro station, 10 minutes from Luxembourg Gardens, 30 minutes from Louvre.
The positive aspects are over. Now we'll see the negative ones:
- the room is in front of the entrance of the building and it's not very isolated acoustically, so when someone enter into the building making a little bit of noise, that is amplified from the stairs, you will listen them, this is quite disturbing during the night, also if you don't have a light sleep.
- from the apartment you can hear the noise of trains, this didn't disturb us very much because it's tolerable but it's important say this in the advertisement because it could be very annoying if you have a light sleep.
- very humid air, more than in the street
- the cleaning level wasn't good. They ask 30€ extra for cleaning the room, but the shower was dirty, on the shower head and in some spaces between tiles there was something black, the soap dish had some yellow stain. At our arrival there was smell of fish and it stayed in for the entire week also if we opened the windows every morning and every evening.
- for the check in, we arrived 1 hour later because of the transport, when we were in the street we asked them through WhatsApp how to come in and they said there wasn't anyone to wait for us, so we didn't know how to come in. Fortunately a girl who live in the same building passed there so she kept opened the door for us. We took the keys and we entered in the apartment after 15/20 minutes.

There is also a little extra: after our negative review, they wanted to "spite" us. They wrote a bad review of us writing something that wasn't true (that we left the apartment dirty with amount of garbage, we didn't respond to their numerous email to choose the time for the check in etc). We obviously informed Wimdu that already had the only email that we received from them (we've responded in less than 15 hours), we've send them also the picture we've take the morning of our departure with date and time written in the files information, where it's clear that what they wrote in the review isn't true. Wimdu can't do anything to their review but it allows us to update ours to make others future clients to know this.
Before this behaviour I thought the apartment was still good if you just sleep and sometimes take a breakfast or a dinner there (except the shower). Now, sincerely, I totally advise against this apartment.

The flat is located in a nice location. It is fairly easy to have access throughout Paris. The flat is clean and kitchen has everything for a morning coffee or tea ( You need to buy your own coffee). It is ideal for a weekend but I am sure about longer stays since it is fairly small but comfortable.
